Horizons was a pavilion about living in the
future centered around the family. It was presented by General Electric and applied Future World into one attraction by exploring communication,
energy, transportation, imagination, land, sea, and life in futuristic
families. The official opening date of Horizons was on October 1, 1983. The attraction closed permanently in January 1999.
The pavilion was demolished in 2000 to make a new pavilion called Mission: SPACE. Mission: SPACE opened in 2003.After entering the queue, you would hear the pavilion's theme song "New Horizons."
It went, "If we can dream it, then we can do it. Yes, we can,yes, we can." It
was like an airport to the future. The vehicles you boarded faced sideways and were suspended from a track above. Three to four guests could easily fit inside one ride vehicle. Horizons was a great attraction for the time it was in Epcot. It was designed over a three-year period at Walt Disney Imagineering in
California, and you could choose your own
ending to the journey by a few different options mentioned here: personal spacecraft, desert hovercraft or
mini-submarine.Photo by Disney Parks BlogPhoto by Disney Parks BlogPhoto by Disney Parks BlogPhoto by Disney Parks BlogWhat's your favorite memory about Horizons? Did anyone get a chance to ride this attraction while it was in Epcot? If not, would you ride it today if it was still around?
